ABSTRACT
The Chinese government attempts to coordinate the spatial planning of various departments through multiple-plan coordination to achieve more efficient land use and promote the orderly urban development. Based on Bryson's cross-sector collaboration theory, this study establishes a cross-sector collaboration framework, which consists of seven parts: system context, drivers, structure, processes, endemic conflicts and constraints, accountabilities and outcomes, and impacts. With Xiamen as a case study, the implementation process of Xiamen’s multiple-plan coordination is analyzed through this framework, and then the cross-sector collaboration process of multiple-plan coordination and the important influencing factors are clarified.
